Before I hauled out my ECU monitor, I was sure it was and injector. I had a freshly serviced set so I changed them out. No change. I still have the problem. The fact that I get no lights for the throttle position on the momitor tells me the throttle switch is out of adjustment. I have read somewhere this will cause sort of a lag in acceleration.
